These days, it's hard to find quality family entertainment for kids of all ages. That's why our family has always been big fans of Veggie Tales.

From the site: Meet Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry – two friends homesteading along the banks of the mighty Mississippi River. Tom and Huck look forward to owning their own land, building a home and opening Huck’s Jerkyland and Tom’s Tax Preparation. But everything changes when they meet a mysterious stranger who is on the run and trying to find his mama. Will Huck and Tom risk losing all they’ve worked for in order to help someone they hardly know? Find out in this exciting river rescue that reminds kids of the importance of helping others.

This newly released 50-minute DVD is great for the whole family and includes a brand new song - The Biscuit of Zazzamarandabo. If your family is a Veggie Tales fan, they will love it! This DVD can be purchased at Amazon.com for $13.99.

I'd love to win this. I love veggie tales. I like them because they teach good values. Also, I am already subscribed to your feed and I have your button on my sidebar here: http://everythingupclose.blogspot.com/

I have been excited about this new release!! My kids would love it! Just one reason I love the Veggie Tales is because it is fun for kids and adults to watch since there are so many jokes in it that only adults understand! It is great!! Oh, yes, and I already subscribe to your feed!!

Hi, Veggie Tales are unique! They have the comic type appeal, but with a message for children (and adults)!I also like that they are vegetables that may make kids more readily eat vegetables. Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks, Cindijchoppes[at]hotmail[dot]com

My 3 kids love to watch Veggie Tales and I feel good them watching Christian cartoons. There's always an important lesson that the kids really DO take away from the video. email babysmamatimes3 [at] yahoo.com

Oh Boy! We are proud veggietales fans. In fact we recently got to see their live show and loved it. It's great to have something that my kids can watch and I don't have to worry about the language or content. I'm amazed with some of the stuff that comes out for kids in the movies. Thanks Big Idea!

oh we LOVE Veggie Tales in our house (in fact I am giving away one too!) and the thing I love most about them is that I never have to worry that my kids are learning garbage from watching them- no potty mouth, no insults, nothing but good stuff. Love it.

I love Veggie Tales! Values based on the bible and they include scripture - There are a lot of things out there to worry about when it comes to your kids, it's nice not to have to worry about Veggie Tales :) Thanks for the giveaway! Jenny Andersjennyjustjen@gmail.com

I actually already subscribe to your blog..that's how I saw this. I would love to win this for my 2 year old daughter. It would add one more video that she could watch 200 times. She looooves "Lawwy". Except she doesn't just say it once..

I love Veggie Tales! I collected these even when I was in college. My favorite part is the way they tell the story - it's so memorable that when kids come across the story in the Bible, they actually understand the basic idea and it's interesting to them!

I love the fact that the Christian message is light and fun. And there is enough comedy to keep mom's and dad's engaged and interested as well. I just wish my little guy wasn't outgrowing the VT's; my twin babies will pick up where he left off though!

I love how they always end the episode with a good message. I watched veggies tales with my nieces on VHS and DVD before they started airing on tv and each one ended with a moral and a Bible verse. Plus the silly songs with Larry are just GREAT.

We adore the Veggie Tales! I love how the stories are fun and entertaining, and have great moral lessons throughout without the kids even overtly knowing always that is what it is about! Great teaching tool, clean and pure!

I love the fact that they design the shows in such a way that *I'm* laughing at the characters as much if not more than my three year old. I love the jokes that are clearly there for the parents' benefit!

Let me just say that if you go to my blog and look under the latest Photo Challenge you will see some of my obsession with Veggie Tales.It's a larry boy clock. We've been watching Veggie tales since my oldest was very little and she's a teenager now. Larry the Cucumber is my most absolute favorite. I can totally relate to him lol. We don't have this new release yet so COUNT ME IN! Woo hoo! Cue music.....veggie tales, veggie tales veggie tales veggie, veggie tales, broccoli, celery, gotta be, VEGGIE TALES, cauliflower, sweet and sour, half an hour, VEGGIE TALES....Okay I'm done lol.Blessings,KIm

I love the Veggies because they almost always have some little cultural reference that is funny for the parents even if the kids don't get it. That makes it even more fun for adults to watch *with* the kids, which is always a good thing! Great giveaway idea, thanks for the chance to enter!

My children LOVE Veggie Tales! My son is just learning how to talk and he can ask for his favorite Veggie Tales movie by name! This is huge for him and he is so excited. I like that the stories are wholesome and teach good character lessons. My children like the bright characters and silly songs (VERY silly songs!). Thanks so much for including me in your drawing.

I love that VeggieTales are really, really funny without having to resort to bad language or other less family friendly themes that so many comedy shows are resorting to these days. I love that they all teach historical or literary stories that are important for my kids to know from a cultural literacy standpoint. Thanks for the chance to win this!

I like that the same people have stayed involved from the beginning. We always know that whatever they come up with, it's going to be good. Every nap and bed time we sing "Think of me every day" with our kids.

Ooh so many things -- We like saying Bamboo and Cebu like Larry does - and we like the Peach (cuz he has hair!) - and why oh why does the IRS man come at Christmas anyway? thanks for the chance - and thanks for the pizza...I mean giveaway.

I love Veggie Tales! I love how Bob keeps Larry grounded, and Larry keeps Bob from being a total party pooper, they're the best team ever. Anyway, please enter me for your giveaway. Thanks.tzaddi_sister(at)yahoo(dot)com
